Enzo Amore has never been shy about speaking his truthand in a recent interview, the former WWE star opened up about just how little money he made when he first signed with the company.
While speaking with Tim Rivera, Amore recalled the shock he felt seeing his first paycheck from WWE. It wasnt the amount that impressed himit was how little he was making despite being signed to the worlds top wrestling company.
He shared how surreal it all wasgetting flown out, staying in hotels for the first time, and being introduced to the WWE machine while barely scraping by.
Enzo Amore signed with WWE in 2012 and made his television debut on NXT in 2013 alongside Big Cass. The duo quickly became crowd favorites thanks to their charisma and catchphrases. Enzo eventually debuted on the main roster in 2016 and remained a regular presence on television until his release in early 2018 following allegations that led to an internal investigation. WWE cut ties with Amore in January 2018, though he was never criminally charged.
Despite the rough beginnings, Enzo Amore and Big Cass became fan favorites in NXT and later made a splash on the main roster. But Enzos recent comments make it clear he doesnt see himself returning to WWE anytime soon.
Enzo also reflected on the competition he faced in WWEs developmental system, naming Roman Reigns, The Shield, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Neville as contemporaries who pushed everyone to get better. But even in that star-studded environment, he and Cass held their own.
With his focus now on independent work and collaborations with Westside Gunns Fourth Rope brand, Enzo Amore is content outside WWEand wants his past contributions recognized, not erased.
